Michael Wallace was a young man who was always interested in airplanes. He set his career goal at becoming an airline pilot.
He soloed in sailplanes at age 16, and earned his private pilot glider rating at age 18. He was proud to be a glider pilot.

On February 15, 2001, at the age of 18, he had just begun his training in powered aircraft when he and his flight instructor, and two other pilots, lost their lives in a mid-air collision over the harbor in Long Beach, California.

This scholarship is offered in Michael’s memory.
